Xenophily
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xenophily means having an affection for unknown objects or human beings. It is the opposite of xenophoby. It is more commonly referred to as xenophilia.
The word is a synthesis from the Greek "xenos" (ξένος) (unknown, foreign) and "philos" (love, attraction).
In common usage it can also mean being sexually attracted to a person distinctly different from oneself, such as in coloring, body type, accent, mannerisms, cultural identity or behavior, etc. To some xenophilia includes even relatively subtle distinctions, but more usually it refers to things of a much more extreme dissimilarity.
[edit] In Fiction
Xenophilia is a theme found in science fiction, primarly the space opera sub-genre, in which one explores the consequences of love and sexual intercourse between humans and non-humans, including extraterrestrials. For an unusually light-hearted, satirical, and playful look at this, see XXXenophile, a fully X-rated comic book wriiten by Phil Fogilo.
